Cameron Carter-Vickers is also set to play for Spurs against Gillingham

“He has already shown the supporters he has a big passion to play. They have been excited to see him on the pitch and the energy he brings.

“Strikers are always excited to play and sometimes feel the pressure — now he needs to be calm.”

Pochettino will rotate his team at home to League One Gillingham with the likes of wonderkid Marcus Edwards, 17, and rookie defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, 18, set to figure.

Pochettino, who likened Edwards to Argie ace Lionel Messi, added: “We have some talented players. Marcus is an exciting talent. His qualities, his body and the way he plays remind me a bit of Messi at the beginning.”
